Mosaic Soybean Study
K. Mann, L. Besemann and H. Eslinger
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Soil: Maddock sandy loam; pH = 7.5; 1.4% organic matter; soil N 20 lbs/acre; soil P was very high; soil K and soil S was medium.
Previous crop: 2014 – potato.
Seedbed preparation: Spring conventional tillage.
Hybrid: Dairyland 0404 R2YVT
Planting: May 22 in 30-inch rows.
Plots: Plots were 40 ft long by 10 ft (4 rows) wide.  The study had four replications.
Fertilizer: Broadcast and incorporated treatments (see Table 1) May 21.
Irrigation: Overhead sprinkler irrigation as needed.
Pest control: Trust (1 pt/acre) May 19, Roundup (30 oz/acre) + AMS (1 lb/10 gal) June 17, Roundup (20 oz/acre) + AMS (1 lb/10 gal) June 30, controlled weeds.  Endura (8 oz/acre) July 8, Proline (5 oz/acre) July 23, controlled disease, Kendo (3 oz/acre) August 11, controlled insects.
Harvest: October 8 with a plot combine.  Harvest area was the center two rows, 37 feet long.
